Closing LHA output?

[alx]

Whenever I double click a file and type "lha e sdf.lha" the LHA output window stays on the screen, no matter what I do.  it's annoying, as there's no way to remove it apart from restarting, and it happens under emulation and on the real Amiga.  I've probably missed something obvious - any ideas?

LHA output window? I would suggest running the command from a full shell window. That's always closable. Or through the DOpus GUI.

Ctrl + \ is able to close text windows on nearly all systems and any window on 3.9 (maybe 3.5 too). That could work.

Last resort, try a different version of LHA.

That worked - thanks :-)

Like Matt_H says this NEVER happens if you use shell. Shell is like DOS for windows (sort of). So if you open shell and use lha thruough there it shall work. You should also use lha x instead of e, "Extract files with full path" wich is what you normaly wants, ie extract a lha-file as it was packed.

Don't worry -  I know how to use the shell :-) Thing is, I'm usually just using 1 file at a time, and it seems quicker just to double click them and fill in the rest of the text field rather than going into the CLI (hard drive's broken, so doing anything on disk takes a while).

Glad to be of help.

I was without hard drive for about a month until last week. It's tough, isn't it?
